Pumpkin Carving

Wednesday night we brought in the pumpkins! Leila was very excited at the prospect of having an Elmo pumpkin, but not so thrilled about helping with the process of carving it. After the initial excitement wore off, L was much more interested in watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown than in working on her pumpkin. So, Daddy took over. By the time he finished Elmo, he was all out of energy. We still have one untouched pumpkin on our porch. Luckily, he got to carve one at Aunt Lynn's house a few days ago for himself.
Our patch...Elmo, Star Wars and Mickey. Mickey was going to be more intricate, but I made one bad cut and the whole face was doomed. We are calling it Toodles rather than Mickey.
